<h1>Errata for <humanversion /></h1>

<p>
This is a list of known problems in the <humanversion /> release of the Debian
Installer. If you do not see your problem listed here, please send us an
<a href="$(HOME)/releases/stable/amd64/ch05s04.html#submit-bug">installation
report</a> describing the problem.
</p>

<dl class="gloss">

	<dt>Firmware handling</dt>

	<dd>The udev component no longer reports missing firmware (<a
	href="https://bugs.debian.org/725714">#725714</a>), and patches for
	the kernel need polishing before we are able to restore
	support for loading missing firmware.
	</dd>

	<dt>Accessibility of the installed system</dt>
	<dd>Even if accessibility technologies are used during the
	installation process, they might not be automatically enabled
	within the installed system.
	</dd>

	<dt>Shell in graphical mode</dt>
	<dd>A fontconfig-udeb bug leads to broken fonts in the
	installer's graphical shell (<a
	href="https://bugs.debian.org/739011">#739011</a>).

<!-- leaving this in for possible future use...
	<dt>Desktop installations on i386 do not work using CD#1 alone</dt>
	<dd>Due to space constraints on the first CD, not all of the expected GNOME desktop
	packages fit on CD#1. For a successful installation, use extra package sources (e.g.
	a second CD or a network mirror) or use a DVD instead.
	<br />
	<b>Status:</b> It is unlikely more efforts can be made to fit more packages on CD#1.
	</dd>
-->

<!-- ditto...
	<dt>Potential issues with UEFI booting on amd64</dt>
	<dd>There have been some reports of issues booting the Debian Installer in UEFI mode
	on amd64 systems. Some systems apparently do not boot reliably using <code>grub-efi</code>, and some
	others show graphics corruption problems when displaying the initial installation splash
	screen.
	<br />
	If you encounter either of these issues, please file a bug report and give as much detail
	as possible, both about the symptoms and your hardware - this should assist the team to fix
	these bugs. As a workaround for now, try switching off UEFI and installing using <q>Legacy
	BIOS</q> or <q>Fallback mode</q> instead.
	<br />
	<b>Status:</b> More bug fixes might appear in the various Wheezy point releases.
	</dd>

<!-- ditto...
	<dt>i386: more than 32 mb of memory is needed to install</dt>
	<dd>
	The minimum amount of memory needed to successfully install on i386
	is 48 mb, instead of the previous 32 mb. We hope to reduce the
	requirements back to 32 mb later. Memory requirements may have
	also changed for other architectures.
	</dd>
